Germany’s Terrifyingly Massive WW2 Siege Monster 🔥💥
During World War II, Germany built the Karl-Gerät, one of the largest and most terrifying siege weapons ever created.
The Rock turns 30 today, and the urban legends about the film are wild.
Connery is an older Bond in The Rock. Fun theory which I like, but the Connery had a cabin built and stayed on Alcatraz story is bull... he slept at the Hyatt Regency.
Chem weapons were “verified” by the military. Nope, the opposite happened.
Nic Cage “banned from action movies” before making The Rock. No, but there was real scepticism, so he chased roles to prove himself.
It was written solely by three people. Not really. It was massively overhauled by Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, even Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais (the writer's of porridge) were pulled in to punch up Connery’s lines.
“An actor nearly died”. Wrong again. During the SF balcony stunt, horrified locals called the cops thinking an actual murder was happening in the hotel.
What is true is that it’s one of the best action films of the 90s.
And Connery’s last line here (and “An act of looneyshe”) is perfect.
THE ROCK was released 30 years ago today.
Sean Connery’s character is never explicitly identified as James Bond, but a long-running fan theory suggests he is an aging 007, a connection the filmmakers knowingly teased without ever confirming.
Happy birthday to Karl Urban! 🎉
The 'Star Trek', 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Boys' actor is a staunch LGBTQ+ ally and took to X in June 2016 to make his stance clear.
In a post accompanied by a rainbow 'Star Trek' image, the New Zealand actor said: “The day people are no longer persecuted for their sexuality, ethnicity, religion or gender, I’ll be proud to be human.”
